Larry Kart Posted November 6, 2021 Report Share Posted November 6, 2021 Been listening to a collection of his early work: "The Tiger, Portrait of a Great Alto Player" (Fresh Sound). Hard for me to believe that I ever thought of Quill as just another hot alto player of the time. Hot he was but much more than that -- very inventive rhythmically and just a fine player of the instrument. His intonation, for one had a special "ping" to it.

clifford_thornton Posted November 7, 2021 Report Share Posted November 7, 2021 Only have his recordings with Phil Woods but they are quite a pair -- I oughta check out his work outside of that context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Kart Posted November 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 On that Quill album I mentioned, the pianist on the first five tracks (from a 1955 concert) is none other than Argonne Thornton (aka Sadik Hakim). He is in quite good boppish form. In fact it's a fine tight band altogether -- Quill, Dick Sherman trumpet (intense, thoughtful), Buddy Jones bass, and drummer Sol Gubin (rather Max like).
